Society’s beauty standards, driven by media and advertising, often feed our insecurities. The Project Beauty Challenge, now in its 7th year, encourages our 2025 Senior Rep Team to embrace their natural selves by being photographed without makeup or edits. This initiative promotes the idea of true beauty beyond societal pressures and superficial ideals.

Project Beauty 2021, despite COVID-19’s disruptions, captured the essence of its senior participants, pushing past traditional beauty standards. These teens were photographed without makeup, urged to share personal beauty insights, redefining beauty as confidence, character, and inner light, rather than perfection.

Project Beauty aims to redefine beauty beyond societal expectations of perfection, emphasizing inherent worth and unique qualities. Photographer Lymarie captures her Senior Team’s natural essence, fostering self-acceptance through black and white portraits without makeup or retouching, alongside their reflections on true beauty’s internal nature.
